Kickerino's I remember the horrible rubber boots that I wore as a child. The boots would leave this purple circle around my legs and no matter how hard I scrubbed the purple circles stayed until it was time to put the boots away in the Spring. My skin would become hard and have a milky white cast on top of the purple. My legs were sore all winter and sometimes they would bleed. I hated those boots with a passion. The other little girls (the ones whose parent's had money) wore what was called Kickerino's. They were leather with plush lining. I wanted a pair of those boots so badly. Finally, in sixth grade, I used my baby-sitting money to buy myself a pair of Kickerino's. My mother was worried that I would lose my shoes because I now had to carry them in a bag. She was definitely against the new boots. The ugly black rubber boots had been worn over my shoes. I only had one pair of shoes, so if I had lost them it would have meant being shoeless until I come up with moeny to another pair. You know... I have not thought about those boots in 40 years. *** Written by Joyce Donner

Spirit Woman here i am, nokomis i am here walking behind following tracking your footsteps i hear you, nokomis softly singing your voice dancing on the tips of the birch trees once burned into my memory long before i passed through the stars songs to the earth songs to my heart reclaiming my forgotten ways here i am, nokomis i am here spirit woman touch me i am woman from the south wing *** Written by Cherylin Z.
